prism-whats-next

prism-whats-next is a command for Claude Code from Ronkupper/PRISM. It costs 38 tokens per session (526 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for resuming a PRISM engagement, a structured project workflow, from its saved project record. It checks the repository and required files, shows the current position, and prepares the next handoff as text ready to paste elsewhere.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate the project record, check its supporting materials, read the recorded next action, and stage the next dispatch or handoff.
Why use it?
It helps someone continue work after a break without relying on memory. It also flags missing files or mismatched versions before the next step is prepared.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

prism-whats-next scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Resume the active PRISM engagement from its continuous state — this is the PRISM Desk, your single pane of glass between sessions.

Optional Master pointer or focus note (may be empty):

$ARGUMENTS

Then proceed:

  1. Locate the Master. Use an attached Master, the one in this project/repo (or repo-backed What's next), or the path/pointer above. If no Master can be found, run the SP-1 / missing-handoff recovery protocol in PRISM_core.md — do not regenerate the Master from memory.
  2. Load the framework if it is not already active: read PRISM_core.md (naming PRISM also auto-triggers the prism Skill, which loads the same core).
  3. Run the SP-13 substrate self-check, then M1 (Missing Inputs) and M2 (Version Drift) against the Master and its declared attachments. Halt at HIGH severity on a missing required artifact or a version mismatch.
  4. Read the Master's What's next artifact and proceed from the predicted next action. If a focus was supplied above, weigh it against What's next and let the operator choose when they diverge rather than silently overriding the plan.
  5. Stage the next step as a card. When the next action is a dispatch, render it as a paste-ready Execution Envelope (the ACTION surface) with its Dispatch ID; otherwise name the next move plainly. On request, render the STATE view (/prism-status) instead.
  6. If What's next is missing or stale, surface that and ask the operator rather than guessing the next action.

This command is a Claude-Skill convenience for resuming PRISM; it changes no framework mechanic. Asking "What's next?" in plain language is equivalent, and is the portable form on every other vendor. Its siblings cover the rest of the loop: /prism-converge (fold returns back), /prism-status (the trajectory view), and /prism-close (finish the engagement).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
